Attend a playful Third Thursday evening filled with words, rhythm, and creative artmaking inspired by the Gardner’s Beyond Words: Italian Renaissance Books exhibition.

The exhibit will feature a once-in-a-lifetime showcase of exquisite Renaissance manuscripts and printed books that are often hidden from display.

The vivid, jewel-colored paintings include popes, princes and scions of Italian dynasties, and were painted by leading artists as one-of-a-kind luxury items during the Renaissance period.

Visitors of this Third Thursday event will appreciate Isabella Stewart Gardner’s wide-ranging love of reading.

The monthly Third Thursday events at the Museum - named The Boston Calendar’s “Best Museum/Gallery Event” - are a relaxing mix of artful activities, drinks, and music with a different theme each month.

Café G will be open for snacks, dinner and drinks.

There will also be a cash bar around the Courtyard.

The event runs from 5:30 PM to 9 PM.
